A once-in-a-lifetime role has arisen for a travelling, ideally French-speaking Nanny / Cook to join an incredibly friendly, relaxed family based primarily in St Barths. Based between the family's beautiful home on St Barths and the family's 100-ft yacht, with travel to the family's houses in Central London and Ireland and sailing trips around the Mediterranean and Caribbean, you must have experience working on / with boats or sailing, enjoy cooking good food, and a genuine love of being at sea.
The role will involve looking after three children ages 8, 5 and 1; you'll be sharing childcare duties with the incredibly relaxed and friendly mother so you'll have plenty of help. You will have sole charge of the one year old for 4-5 hours each morning, and you'll then be responsible for preparing a light lunch for the children. Afternoons will generally involve helping out with the older children, playing with them and seeing them active and engaged, and preparing a light dinner for the family at 6.30 each evening.
You'll have your own separate accommodation in the family's beautiful beachfront Caribbean home, with separate living quarters and bathroom on the family's yacht when you're at sea.
This role is a live in position, but the family are very relaxed and are seeking someone who will really feel like a member of the family. They are seeking someone fun, friendly, kind and happy who wants to work as part of a wonderfully warm family and experience travelling to some of the most beautiful places in the world.
You must have childcare and cookery experience and ideally be able to start a trial at the family's home in Central London as soon as possible for a working trial, with a view to moving to St Barths with them in early September if the trial goes well for you both.
This role would suit someone with 1+ year's Nanny experience who has cooking experience, perhaps working in ski chalets or catering, who wants to take a step up or potentially move towards a career as a private chef.
This is an urgent role and we are shortlisting immediately so please don't delay!
